# IoT Connector

In case you need to configure a cloud-to-cloud integration to transfer your IoT data, you can define the IoT Connector, that is automatically used by all DPS's registered things.

> [!WARNING]
> ## Security warning
> 
> For security reasons, the main IoT Connector should be used only for cloud-to-cloud communication, and not for thing-to-cloud communication. It is strongly discouraged to store in each client (e.g. thing) or let each client directly access the main IoT Connector configuration (e.g. credentials, certificates, endpoints).
> 
> It is enough for one client to be hacked to allow the hacker to read data from all clients or, even worse, to send malicious messages (e.g. commands) to other connected clients.
> 
> The configuration of the main IoT Connector must be kept secret from the single cloud client.

## Configuring the IoT Connector

In order to configure a IoT Connector, you should:

1. Enter the *Integrations / IoT Connector page.*
2. Select the IoT Connector from the enabled ones.
3. Provide the required properties to configure the connection (e.g. credentials, endpoints).

By default, you can leverage the STC connector, but optionally you can enable others within the [*Integrations / Plugins*](/docs/plugins) page.

In the DPS, depending on the IoT Connector selected, you need to specify additional [mapping information](/docs/thing-connection-mapping) for each thing you want to connect.
